The above proof was only for prime limits. However, the above result can be extended easily to certain "nice" subgroups with a basis of prime powers, such as 2.9.7.11, with the only caveat being that we want to make sure we directly weight each prime power <math>p^n</math> as <math>p^{ns}</math>, rather than giving it the naive weighting of <math>\text{sopfr}^s(p^n)</math>. More work is needed to derive a corresponding result for non-nice subgroups.

In general, a corresponding result can be derived for any arbitrary subgroup; the max 1/(n/d)^s weighted error will be on some relatively simple interval, so that one only needs to check a sufficiently small set of intervals (though not necessarily the primes).
